[length: 03:36]
[00:01.64]Hit it!
[00:03.13]We should shine a light on, a light on
[00:12.69]And the book I write on, write on
[00:17.39]It was right on
[00:23.39]We should shine a light on, a light on
[00:33.67]And the book I write on, write on
[00:38.26]It was right on
[00:44.33]Yo, I try to get it how I live it
[00:46.64]A lot of people counting on me kind of like a digit
[00:48.94]It’s a cold world, I’m not frontin’ like it isn’t
[00:51.32]It’s no time for coming up shorter than a midget
[00:53.77]Y’all know I’ma raise the bar though like Brigitte
[00:56.58]See there a star go, don’t blink, you might miss it
[00:59.10]It’s precious cargo you got to be strong to lift it
[01:01.84]The light comes in different types, be more specific
[01:04.20]Shit, I’m Black Thought what could be more prolific
[01:06.77]For this love I go above and beyond the limit
[01:09.46]I told y’all I’m above and beyond a gimmick
[01:12.07]I get into your head and spread like a pandemic
[01:14.47]I never put myself in a race I can’t finish
[01:17.13]I’m well grounded, founded on the same premise
[01:19.60]As any man with a hit list that’s about business
[01:22.43]Yo, can a brother get a witness? Dig it
[01:24.50]Right on
[01:24.92]We should shine a light on, a light on
[01:34.43]And the book I write on, write on
[01:38.94]It was right on
[01:45.34]We should shine a light on, a light on
[01:55.11]And the book I write on, write on
[01:59.56]It was right on
[02:04.38]Ok, I’m above and beyond hot, my measurement in watts
[02:08.06]Time rate of flow and energy ain’t never gon’ stop
[02:10.49]Pressure’s on I won’t pop, microphone I won’t drop
[02:13.17]Gemstones niggas cop ain’t shit if I ain’t in the spot
[02:15.55]It’s the Orion of the hop, the new star of the hip
[02:18.18]I shine a light for the future so my present’s a gift
[02:20.65]It’s evident I’m heaven sent with Thomas Edison elements
[02:23.22]Reverence for what I represent should show my benevolence
[02:25.63]This is Philly, I’m repping for the art of the city
[02:28.08]Came from southwest Atlanta, gave my heart to the city
[02:30.77]Where slugs fly, thugs cry, ’cause every part of it’s gritty
[02:33.44]Niggas shooting up the club like they party with Diddy
[02:35.86]You get the diggy? I flip my incandescents to fluorescents
[02:38.45]And in essence I can burn more joules of energy per second
[02:41.15]I put them on to lessons while I’m smoking on the blessing
[02:43.61]The switch hitter like Pete Rose, right up the session
[02:46.26]Right on
[02:46.71]We should shine a light on, a light on
[02:56.27]And the book I write on, write on
[03:00.83]It was right on
[03:06.88]We should shine a light on, a light on
[03:16.61]And the book I write on, write on
[03:21.24]It was right on
[03:28.22]
